The England region

Cumbria is a predominantly rural county which is considered one of the most beautiful regions of the United Kingdom and includes the whole of the Lake District, the Eden Valley, the North Pennines, the Furness Peninsula, and part of the Yorkshire Dales.Silloth is situated in Western Lakeland which is a land of vivid and exciting contrasts, lying between the mountains and the sea. The Cumbrian coastal towns are all within minutes of complete peace and tranquility. There are four main valleys, each with their own distinct character, leading from the coast into the heart of the Lake District: Ennerdale, Eskdale, Wasdale and Dunnerdale. Wasdale is the home of England's highest mountain Scafell Pike (3206 ft) and the deepest lake – Wastwater which is situated 44 miles south of SillothSilloth is a town with a population of around 3000, nestling on the shores of the Solway Firth, facing the hills of Southern Galloway and backed by the Lake District Fells. Silloth is noted for its invigorating but mild climate, its leisurely peaceful atmosphere and perhaps, most of all, its glorious sea views and wonderful sunsets over the water. These are considered fine enough to be recorded for posterity by Turner, the famous landscape artist. The town centre is made particularly attractive by thirty six acres of grassy, open space, known simply as 'The Green'.The town was inspired by Carlisle businessmen as a railhead and port in the 1850’s. The Railway Company helped to develop the town and The Grey House is built on land originally owned by the railway and has been here since 1906.The town remains unspoiled and has wide elegant tree lined streets, spacious sea front green and magnificent promenade stretching towards Skinburness which is an excellent walk. Thousands of servicemen came to know it in World War II through the building nearby of a major aerodrome which now holds industrial firms and an impressive weekly market and car boot sale.

Silloth

There are lots of events through the year both locally and wider afield.

A useful website to visit is www.visitcumbria.com or www.golakes.co.ukInformation on things to do is available in the annexe but many of our guests take the opportunity to relax and re-charge their batteries with walks on the promenade and time to watch the sun go down over Criffel Mountain in Scotland.

“Fabulous place”

Reviewed 5 Oct 2016

Booked this at short notice and Lorna was very flexible and welcoming. Superbly kitted out, spotless, comfortable and private with excellent wi-fi and SKY TV in a superb location virtually on the seafront at the charming resort of Silloth.

Thank you so much for your kind words, we are delighted you enjoyed your break and it was lovely to meet you.

“Warm and Cozy Annex in a Pretty Little Town”

Reviewed 27 Sep 2016

Just returned from a 2 night stay in the Annex. Visited with my husband and Black lab, the annex is a perfect place to stay, it has everything you want and more, like previous reviews it's the little touches that make it special. Lorna greeted me to show me around, she had left milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. Although we had taken our own dog accessories, Lorna had a box full of dog goodies if required. The annex is also in a perfect spot, quiet but only minutes walk from the town centre, park etc and seconds from the prom. The weather wasn't kind to us, but we enjoyed our stay anyway. A must visit is the Fairydust Cafe in town!! I have never ever been to a more friendly cafe and they LOVE dogs, they even offered a crocheted blanket for Bodie to lie on. We will most definitely return one day. Thank you

Thank you so much, we are delighted you enjoyed yourselves and also massive thanks for my retirement gift, I will enjoy it. We would love to welcome you again.

“Excellent”

Reviewed 28 Jul 2016

My wife and myself couldn't have been happier with all aspects of our holiday.
The accommodation was excellent as was the town and location to north lakes and many other great spots.
Lorna and Martin were excellent hosts, only appearing if we needed them.
We have a English Bull Terrier, Arnie who was made really welcome by them, which made our stay even more special.
Thanks Lorna and Martin, we'll see you again, hopefully soon.
Eddie, Dot and Arnie (from Shaw)<

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and Arnie was a real gentleman. We too hope to see you again soon. Kind regards Lorna

“Another lovely stay, home away from home”

Reviewed 8 Jul 2016

Just returned home after another brilliant stay, such a lovely relaxing stay, definitely gave me some much needed chill out time, and the dogs loved it as well. Wasn't sure how Ruby would react being away from home, but the cottage is so homely, she wasn't at all bothered!
Lorna and Martin are lovely, and really make you feel welcome, something that is missing in a lot of places now. There is everything you could need in the cottage, and 3 years on, that bed still lives up to expectations and gives you the best nights sleep ever.

Thanks for your kind words Tom, it was good to see you again. I am really pleased that you got your time to relax.
